The element with the lowest ionization potential is

A.Na
B.K
C.Rb
D.Cs✓ Correct
Explanation

Ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from a neutral gaseous atom. The trend of ionization energy decreases down the group due to an increase in atomic size and increases from left to right in periods due to the decrease in atomic size. Therefore, the element with the lowest ionization potential is Caesium (Cs).
